Xml Query Tool
The XPath Expression Builder tool allows you to construct and view the results of your query as you type.
It attaches itself to the active XML Editor, so any XML panel in the environment can be queried.
XQuery is About Querying XML. XQuery is a language for finding and extracting elements and attributes from XML documents. Here is an example of what XQuery could solve: 'Select all CD records with a price less than $10 from the CD collection stored in cdcatalog.xml'.
The XPath Query Editor comes with Intellisense, which is intelligently taken from the content of the current XML document. The results of the XPath expression can then be seen in the active XML Editor.
Features
- XML is the most powerful data storage and transfer medium on the web. It works as XML Viewer, XML Formatter, XML Editor,XML Validator. What can you do with XML Viewer/ XML Formatter? It helps to beautify/format your XML. It helps to display your XML in a tree view. This also works as XML Pretty Print. It helps to minify your XML.
- Oxygen integrates the xqDoc tool to generate HTML documentation for XQuery files with just a few clicks. It accepts one or more XQuery files as input and the namespace functions are configurable. It accepts one or more XQuery files as input and the namespace functions are configurable.
- Users XQuery: choosing an implementation. There are over 40 different software packages that support XML Query in some way. Things to look for include availability of support, platforms, price, performance, all the usual issues, but you should also ask whether the software supports the final syntax from the W3C Recommendation or implements an earlier draft.

Usage
The XPath expression can be evaluated against any XML Editor. Nodes matched by the expression are highlighted, and a tree of nodes is shown in the expression window. It is also possible to create an XPath expression from any node within an XML Document.
Namespaces used within the current XML Editor are automatically aliased for use in the XPath expression, but these can be changed added to or removed.
A code preview window shows how to execute the XPath expression in a variety of languages.

This online tool allows you to test your XPath expressions / queries against an XML string or file. You can easily debug your XPath expressions!
This utility also includes an XPath generator that helps you easily create XPath expressions. Double click (In 'Your XML string' editor) the element, attribute, or text you want to generate the associated xpath expression.
You can see example XPath expression to help you to find your Xpath query.
You can see the user guide to help you to use this XPath tester.
User guide
In order to test your XPath expression, you must:
- Fill 'Your XPath expression' editor
- Fill 'Your XML string' editor
To fill 'Your XML string' editor, you can:
- Copy and paste your XML string
- Drag and drop your XML file
- Click on 'Browse XML file' button in order to load your XML file
- Directly type your XML string in the editor
To generate an XPath expression:
Just double click on the element, attribute, or text you want to generate the Xpath expression.
This tool does not support the XPath functions (number(), string(), string-length() ...).

About XPath
XML Path Language (XPath) is a query language for selecting nodes from a XML data. Xpath can be used to query XML databases.
It is based on a tree representation of the XML, it allows to navigate through elements in an XML document.
XPath uses path expressions to select nodes in an XML document.
XPath expressions can be used in many programming languages (JavaScript, Java, PHP, Python, C, ...).
XPath is a W3C recommendation.
XPath Examples
| Select the tools element | /tools |
| Select all tool elements which are direct children of the tools element | /tools/tool |
| Select all tool elements without taking into account the tree | //tool |
| Select the second tool element | //tool[position() = 2] |
| Select the value attribute of all tool elements without taking into account the tree | //tool/@value |
| Select the tool element which has the id attribute value of 1 | //tool[@id=1] |
This tool uses document.evaluate function to test your XPath query.
